(With apologies for any cross-posting)

As I am told there are a dwindling number of places available, I thought I would remind list members of a one-day event the Journal of Professional Negligence is holding in London on the 25th September.  

As you can see, from the overview below, it is a very ODG-heavy list of speakers and the day will also be chaired by Prof Paula Giliker who is a member of the Journal's Advisory Board. 

Revised versions of the papers from the event will be published in a forthcoming issue of the Journal, guest edited by Prof Giliker. A copy of that issue  (in due course) is included in the price of admission.  

For those who wear two hats, the day has been accredited with 4 CPD hours from the BSB and we have a number of practitioners attending as well as Elizabeth-Anne Gumbel QC amongst the speakers. 

The registration page can be found here:

Please feel free to contact me if any further information would be helpful. 

Best wishes,
